Review on Versatile and Efficient Pliers: Wire Cable Cutters, Side Flush & Diagonal Cutting Pliers by Dustin Woodrow

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's worth it, but only limited to cables 20g and above!

The price was very reasonable given its limitations. Pros: - The price is excellent. - Cuts clean. - Pointed tips provide excellent access to tight spaces such as DIP cables. Cons: - VERY fragile. If you are cutting larger diameter items such as RF cables or 14g wires etc. this tool is NOT for you. This tool is for small components with copper terminations, such as B. wires with a weight of 20 g or more, and components designed with through holes. If you press on it, one of the cutting tips will break off! Buy two so you have a backup if you hit it and you'll know its limitations. - If you overstress it, the rivet holding the two sides together will deform and the cutting edge will NOT meet at the edges and overlap. Reduction in cutting ability Conclusion: - It's worth it, BUT ONLY for LIGHT cuts. Like through hole components or small gauge wire. Use it within its limits and it will serve you well. Kate Noneya
